Title: Hello from Silver wings in USA
Post by: Silver wings on November 24, 2013, 04:21:23 AM

Hi all ,

It is a pleasure to join this group. I have been modeling in all scales and models since 1954. Airplanes, cars, boats, trains, structures, dioramas, kits and scratch built. and have been a professional model builder for over 20 years. My current interest is building WW1 models in 1/32 scale, but I have to finish a Tamiya F4U-i Corsair in 1/32 scale first. I have acquired a  Wingnut wings Hanover C1 which will be my next build. I have read that there is a person making custom propellers for this as well as wheels but can't remember where  I saw it.  Great to be here.

Alec
